US Airfix Shermans

G'day everyone,
featuring today are three Airfix Shermans which were built by my son and painted by me, I think they came up quite well fior such a venerable kit. The tank commander is a figure my son selected from his Airfix US Marines, and has had some slight surgery to fit. Painted with mostly Vallejo paints over a light grey gesso undercoat. The aerials are made from fishing line.

Very nice work, brings back memories of making models with my Dad when I was a youngster! Do you mind me asking how you fixed the fishinh wire aerials in place? Any attempt I've made at something like that always seems to end in an unsightly mass of glue at the base...
